The study is based on two surveys of students and tutors conducted 5 years apart, and focusses on the educational experience as well as societal and accessibility dimensions. Key conclusions are that both staff and students value online sessions, to supplement face-to-face sessions, mainly for their convenience, but interaction within the sessions is limited. Students find the recording of sessions particularly helpful in their studies.</p><p><strong>Keywords:</strong> eLearning; eTutorials; synchronous online learning; STEM</p><p>(Published: 22 July 2016)</p><div><p><strong>Citation:</strong> Research in Learning Technology 2016, <strong>24</strong>: 30630 - <a href="http://dx.doi.org/10.3402/rlt.v24.30630" target="_base">http://dx.doi.org/10.3402/rlt.v24.30630</a></p></div&gt;}, journal={Research in Learning Technology}, author={Lowe Tim and Mestel Ben and Williams Gareth}, year={2016}, month={Jul.} }
